I found out the GM 3500 chasis can max out to 14,200 GVW I am estimating 3,000 to 4,500 lbs cargo depending on how I upfit living quarters and how much of my own junk I carry. The making money part would this be paid as a strait truck or a c van? and hwo much is in my pocket at the end of the week.
Besides, driving a S/T all this time jumping right into a van I might be out of my natural habitat. L.O.L.

Right now, im doing the research to see if it makes sense.

Gota go I have a midnite pickup.

From seeing every load posted on Sylectus that is a van, Sprinter and small straight I say you would probably be running all these types. Most of the "small straight" loads are Sprinter loads. But I run some of those in my XCV with 144x52x49 @ 3500# capacity. You would have a dimensional advantage over me for sure. I think you COULD run almost all of these. The issue comes with pounds. I see a fair amount of "small straight" loads posted at 4500#+. Not ideal if your only aiming at <3500#. But you would also have the dimensional advantage over Sprinters I think.

Aerocell, Aerocell van, Aerocell truck, Aerocell van body, unicell van, unicell truck, one piece fiberglass van, fiberglass truck, service truck body, fiberglass auto body, truck body companies Between hotdogs and 6 skids, here you go. In a perfect world , 6 skids of the exact same size is great, guess what, six skids come in different sizes, they aint gonna fit. Just get an 18 wheeler and all is well. As for hotdogs, ...............................

I think when dimensions aren't spoken I, me, down here in CV land think the standard auto bin of 45x48x34......hence 6 works

In the land I come from, a "standard skid" is 40" x 48". It's what I, as a vanner, consider when I buy a van or Sprinter and consider how many skids I can get in. A standard CV with a 10' load floor will get two skids with a varying margin depending on whether the skids are loaded the long way or sideways. A super-sized Sprinter with the 14' load floor will get three skids the long way, 4 skids if you slide them in sideways. Load loose stuff around the skids.

There is that "standard" as well....the wooden skids....the "OLD standard skid was 48x48 many years ago...between the plastic bin and the wooden skid..if you think plastic bin the wooden ones will usually always fit...3 standard wood skids loaded sideways is what?...only 10 feet...
